In 1924 America's National Research Council sent two engineers to supervise a series of industrial experiments at a large telephone-parts factory called the Hawthorne Plant near Chicago.It hoped they would learn how stop-floor lighting 1 workers'productivity.Instead,the studies ended 2 giving their name to the"Hawthorne effect",the extremely influential idea that the very 3 to being experimented upon changed subjects'behavior.The idea arose because of the 4 behavior of the women in the Hawthorne plant.According to 5 of the experiments,their hourly output rose when lighting was increased,but also when it was dimmed.It did not 6 what was done in the experiment;7 something was changed,productivity rose.A(n)8 that they were being experimented upon seemed to be 9 to alter workers'behavior 10 itself.After several decades,the same data were 11 to econometric the analysis.Hawthorne experiments has another surprise store 12the descriptions on record,no systematic 13 was found that levels of productivity were related to changes in lighting.It turns out that peculiar way of conducting the experiments may be have let to 14 interpretation of what happed.15,lighting was always changed on a Sunday.When work started again on Monday,output 16 rose compared with the previous Saturday and 17 to rise for the next couple of days.18,a comparison with data for weeks when there was no experimentation showed that output always went up on Monday,workers 19 to be diligent for the first few days of the week in any case,before 20 a plateau and then slackening off.This suggests that the alleged"Hawthorne effect"is hard to pin down.20选?A.breakingB.climbingC.surpassingD.hitting
选项
A.breaking
B.climbing
C.surpassing
D.hitting
答案
D
解析
所填入的词需与a plateau构成动宾搭配。plateau在此取其“稳定状态”之意。本题所在的句子曾谈到“工人们常在每周前几天努力工作”;接着用before引出句子的状语before在此意为“在……之前,随后”,其后跟了两个含先后顺序的动名词结构。既然有“接着松懈下来(then slacking off)”这一情况出现,说明,在这之前有一个“紧张”的过程,由此可推测20 a plateau所要表达的含义。A项breaking(a plateau)“打破一种稳定状态”与句中的diligent在感情色彩上相矛盾,故排除。B项climbing强调的是“艰辛、费力的往上爬”或“(价格)上涨”,用在此也不合适。C项surpassing(a plateau)“超过一种稳定状态”也不合适。而D选项填入空中后,意思是:“……随后达到一种稳定的状态,接着松懈下来”。故本题的正确答案是D。
